Can IBM’s ecosystem grab hold of the slippery data science market? | #DataFirst
One day there may be one go-to data platform or tool that companies universally trust to get insight, push a button and, presto, deliver value. Currently, the range of available tools that might work, work in some instances or for some companies matches the sprawl of the data science field itself. Can one company take this chaos and bottle it into a manageable suite of products companies can make use of?
Michele Chambers, chief marketing officer and VP of products at Continuum Analytics Inc., spoke to Sam Kahane (@Sam_Kahane), from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during the IBM DataFirst Launch event about the announcement of her company’s partnership with IBM DataWorks.
Continuum Analytics’ language-agnostic model jibes well with the controlled chaos that IBM is trying to deliver in this hard-to-pin-down market, according to Chambers. “As they make this really big headlong way into the cloud, they’re looking for really having an open data science experience, and that’s what our platform is all about,” she said.
Experiencing data science
In fact, words like “product” seem too limited in their definition to describe what is going on in data science right now. Perhaps that is why IBM has opted for the term “experience,” Chambers stated.
“We’re going to be surfaced up into multiple experiences that IBM has,” she stated. “They have a Data Science Experience, which is an environment and ecosystem for data scientists to be able to build out data science assets.”
Chambers continued: “They have the Bluemix Experience, which is where people could go and actually purchase different software to use in their environment.”
